Koli Barthad is a traditional Mangalorean chicken dish that is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then shallow-fried until golden and crispy. The chicken is first marinated in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, and other spices, which helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with delicious flavors. It is then shallow-fried until it is cooked through and has a crispy exterior. Koli Barthad is typically served as a starter or appetizer and pairs well with rice or roti.
